Current Funds

We offer a wide variety of funds that are flexible to meet our donorâ€™s different needs and charitable interests. See the funds listed below for more information, and to find the right fund for you, contact us and we can happily discuss each option.

Unrestricted Funds

These funds offer the broadest giving option, allowing grants to be made wherever our professional staff and board determines our communities needs are the greatest.

Field-of-Interest Funds

This fund type creates grants that meet needs in a particular field or geographic area that is of most interest to you, the donor.

Donor-Advised Funds

These funds enable you to recommend specific organizations to receive grants.

Scholarship Funds

These funds help students receive the money necessary to pursue academic goals. You may define guidelines for candidacy, the advisory committee, the school and the award itself

Designated Funds

This type of fund lets you support specific organizations while we make sure the grants to those groups remain relevant over time and are responsive to changing circumstances and needs.

Current Endowment Funds List

If you'd like to give to one of the already worthy causes and funds in our region, we are happy to assist you in this giving. Below is a list of our current endowment funds.

Current Pass-Through Funds List

We are happy to have the opportunity to have assisted countless organizations in our region as they've grown to become fully-functioning 501-c3 non-profit organizations. Often, these organizations require special assistance as they grow and continue to serve our region, and we work with these organizations and allow them to operate as "pass-throughs" of the Foundation. For a complete list of the pass-through funds, see the list below.
